Bug 141070 – Crash in uninitialized deconstructing variable.

• Component: JavaScriptCore
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Han Choongwoo]

I think this bug is related with https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=135545
variable declarations with no initializer, something like 'var {A};' or 'var [A];', make crash.
these declarations also need AST nodes.

maybe enable profiling would be needed..
I don't know.

Is it valid ES6 syntax to do something like:

var {foo};
foo = 20;

?

I'm not sure what the spec says for things like this. Looking it up now.

From reading the spec, I don't think this is valid. If you refer to section 13.2.2, it says that all BindingPattern nodes inside a variable declaration must have an accompanying initializer. That said, JSC should definitely not crash on this. We should raise a parsing error.

I think this can be fixed inside Parser::parseVarDeclarationList on line 489+ by raising a parse error for any deconstruction pattern node that does not contain a rhs.

It's actually not this easy. parseVarDeclarationList is used both in for statements and in variable declaration statements. This is somewhat unfortunate, anyways, it should be legal to do:
for (var {x} of arr) ...
but not:
var {x};

A patch like this should do the trick. It's a bit ugly though passing a flag into parseVarDeclarationList

When we write code like this, we either use an enumeration or we explicitly assign the boolean value to a named local variable. Otherwise, it's hard to know what the parameter means.

Yeah, agreed. I'll make it into an enum, it seems cleanest that way.

I forgot to link to the spec section I was referring to:

Typo:
*the assignment must also have a right hand side value*
